Missing a Curry connection in their Lakers counterpart, the Los Angeles WNBA team chose Stephen Curry‘s god-sister as their #2 pick from the 2024 drafts. While the move came as a surprise for many, Cameron Brink posted 11 points, 3 rebounds, and multiple crucial blocks in her debut game; all while bringing her godmother, Sonya Curry, to her feet. Now, as LA’s preseason battle with Seattle Storm (84-79) carves out a cheering debut for Brink, her god-brother falls next in the line to congratulate her and pray for a growing journey.

Stephen Curry recently took to his Instagram, reposting Cameron Brink’s features from the recent photoshoot with the WNBA franchise, which was captioned, “Year 1💛💜”. While highlighting her recent feat, Steph wrote, “Go time,” hinting the 6’4 forward to unleash her dominance on the global stage. Brink looked like she belonged to the LA frontlines in her debut, albeit with initial struggles. With an off first half, she quickly sank her first WNBA trey in the third quarter and gave the Sparks some efficient shots near the basket.

Moreover, she protected the paint when it mattered the most, leaving the local fans with optimism about a steady future. One of Brink’s most highlight-worthy plays came from her block on Jade Melbourne. Melbourne crossed Layshia Clanderon and found an open lane for an easy lay. However, to her and fans’ surprise, Brink came out of nowhere to slam the shot in the front rows; all while shouting and screaming to ignite the fans.
